O’Day, Venida or Topflite. Not a pink. From 
afar the color carries unusually well, like 
the rose glow of an evening sunset. Opens 
well in water. Not exceptional as to beauty 
of form, but Rose Charm is the only early 
rose colored glad I know of.

I asked a well known judge from the East, 
who visited me last summer, to mail me his 
frank impressions of our three prospective 
1948 introductions. The following are his 
comments received shortly before our cata- 
logue went to press: 
“One of the outstanding thrills in twenty 
years of glad growing and glad judging came 
to me when I first saw White Christmas in 
the row. 
“T was thrilled anew when I saw it reign- 
ing as king of the show table. But not until 
I saw a massed basket of it five feet in 
diameter did I fully realize the true mag- 
nificence of this gorgeously ruffled, exuber- 
antly stylish, immaculate snowy flower. It 
is hard to do justice to White Christmas 
without seeming extravagant with superla- 
tives. It is simply a dream come true. It 
does you great credit to introduce it at so 
modest a price. I question whether any 
other grower would introduce so outstand- 
ing an offering for less than ten dollars. 
‘“Little Sweetheart” is in the same upper 
register of beauty as White Christmas. I 
consider it far and away the most beautiful 
small decorative glad on the market. It is 
simply ideal for arrangements. Like White 
Christmas it has all the stretch it needs. It 
has the same waxy white throat and the 
same ingenue pink as made Prestgard’s 
Sweetheart such a favorite in its day but 
differs in being only about two-thirds as 
large in the florets and in being most ex- 
quisitely frilled. Little Sweetheart is an- 
other love-at-first-sight glad—full of that 
romantic perfection one often dreams about 
but rarely sees. 
‘“Rose Charm is a glad to respect and 
admire but not a glad to rave about. It’s 
beautiful but not out of this world. Its really 
outstanding feature is its value as a basket 
flower: the long clean cut ribbons of fresh

“9-43 (Rose Charm) Straight graceful rose with 
everything in its favor. We have this heavily 
underscored.’’—E. A. Lins, Wis.
